~ Sunday Romance - Week 1 ~

Talk about last minute! Sorry, @sunday-romance​, it’s messy and unedited, but I did write! 

WC // 500

WIP // Howl of the Blood [Modern AU]

Pairing // Tayena Viogor x Lalik Kohanov [they are engaged]

TW // just one naughty crotch grab *wink*

It was a good night.

Lalik and Tayena haven't gone out with their friends for a few months and it was fun to dance their stresses away and have a few invigorating rounds of tequilas. Especially since Lalik is a great dancer and handles alcohol like a pro.

A bit after 2 am, they part ways with their friends and head out to a nearby park. After a hot and noisy club, taking a night stroll through this quiet sanctuary is a bliss. Cool morning air is cleaning their lungs filled with smoke, dust and human pheromones with every breath they take.

Tayena is still a bit tipsy, even after walking for a little while, and her legs are wobbly like a... like a...

"What is a baby deer called again?" she asks.

Lalik stops mid-sentence, confusion quickly changing to annoyance.

"You didn't hear a word I said, did you?"

"Oh, you were talkin'?" Tayena tries to think hard, but that is quite a difficult process when your brain is covered in cotton candy. "Could you repeat the last part?"

Lalik's lips crook into an amused arc. "You should've eaten more than just a chicken salad and a crepe before drinking."

"Yeah, I was hungry again after 15 minutes."

"You are a bottomless pit, woman!" Lalik laughs and prods in Tayena's belly surprised yet again how firm and toned it is even though there is constantly so much food in it. "Always hungry."

Tayena's flashes a devious smile. "And not only for food."

Her hand flies toward her fiance's crotch and he jumps away, giggling. "That tickles!" His voice hits a high and rather silly note.

Obnoxious laughter breaks through the calm. The couple turns their heads toward the source and notice two men sitting on a bench hidden in the shadows, not far away from them.

"Come here, doll, I'm not ticklish like that twink."

Lalik and Tayena sigh in duet, their eyes rolling almost simultaneously.

"Let's just move on," Lalik suggests, "I'm not gonna allow them to ruin our walk." Tayena nods, albeit a bit reluctantly.

With a whistle to emphasize his words, one of the men continues: "Hey, pretty boy, you can join in, too."

Tayena stops, grabs Lalik's arm and pulls him toward herself so hard that the tall man trips like a child. "This pretty boy is MINE, capiche? I'm the one who's gonna tickle him all night long and it's gonna be a-maz-ing!"

She then turns on her heels and marches forward, dragging Lalik behind her.

Men continue to giggle and comment, but Tayena and Lalik are now too far away to hear them. 

"Twink. Ha!" Tayena mumbles to herself while stomping off. "They say it like it's a bad thing. This pretty idiot boy is mine and my only. I would kick their asses if they ever--"

Something yanks her to a stop and she is suddenly in someone's embrace. Someone very tall and pretty like an angel.

"I love you, you idiot," Lalik presses his smile to Tayena's lips.

Also big important change: I will spell all the names and words that originate from my country or Old Slavic faith in their native form.

THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK, PUMPKIN! 💙💙💙

Let me answer the shorter part of the ask. Lalik runs off to his father’s estate. It is not too far away from Wolkobran, but enough for him to feel safe and secure.

Now... Tayena’s opinion on Filipa and Oliver.

Tayena *frowns* : Well... ummm... they are really interesting people. Very... open.

Me: Elaborate open.

Tayena: They express their feelings and opinions freely. When they want to. Especially Filipa. I mean, she doesn’t express them a lot, but that’s because she decided to keep them hidden. She is in control, always. The power of her personality is... overwhelming. You just know how she feels, but not entirely *frowns even more* She’s really complicated.

Me: Do you admire her?

Tayena: Definitely! She is poised, graceful, feminine and strong. She could be an amazing queen *she rubs her neck uncomfortably* but probably lethal... Hmmm, I wouldn’t want to be her subordinate.

Me: *chuckles* *whispers*  But you might want to be her sub.

Tayena: What?

Me: Nothing. How about Oliver?

Tayena: He needs more control. He is risking too much for sake of his... urges. And he knows that. I understand how hard it is to balance it out. How stressful it is. But he is really REALLY pushing his luck. He ought to be smarter. His position, his reputation. Everything is at risk... But he is a human. He has needs. He has desires. It’s not easy...

Me: Are you talking about him or yourself?

Tayena: *blushes* Both?

Me: Well, honesty is always good. Thanks for your answers, dearie. Try to find someone else as inspiration, Filipa is... extreme.

Thanks for the tag @silver-wields-a-pen!

~~~*~~~

Tajena: 4/10 not really used to them, but she could learn fast. they seem... nice.

Lalik: 11/10 CUDDLES! give this boy cuddles. he’s not used to them either but once he is allowed to hug he’s not letting you go! ^^

Elemir: 8/10 big bear hugs. warning: can cause minor rib fractures.

Ino: 2/10 he’s just not into them (he’s lying)

Sabeha: 5/10. she won’t let just anyone feel the wonders of her touch. if she’s in the mood they can go as high as 9.

Name: Tayena Viogor [ta-yeh-na vee-oh-gore]

Title: knesinitza [kneh-see-nee-tza]

Age: 22

Hair colour: fiery red

Eye colour: silver

Weapon: axe

Father: knez [kn-ehz] Belad Viogor (69 years old)

Mother: kneginya [kneh-gee-nya] Zetana Viogor, née Yurosh (39 years old)

Sibling: sister Kalina (16 years old)

Tayena is loved and sheltered elder daughter of the noble Viogor family, ruler of knezhevina [kneh-zheh-wee-nah] Trnogorye for the last 45 years. She is dutiful and highly respected young woman who is very loyal to her family, especially to her father.  

Trnogorye has never been led by a woman and Tayena is meant to be the first. As such, she was brought up unlike any other girl in her land. Ever since the day of her birth, she has been treated, dressed and educated as a boy, a future sovereign, and trained to be a warrior. Her younger sister, on the other hand, has been free to express her feminine side, and that causes discontent in Tayena’s heart.

Despite her formidable fighting skills and sharp wits, she is restricted from ever leaving Wolkobran, the city of her birth, until she succeeds her father. Consequently, she barely experienced anything outside her castle walls and is curious about the world. Still, Tayena understands her parents decision to protect her, the sole heir of the land, at all costs, and she accepts her station.

There is, however, one bewildering and tormenting event that repeated throughout Tayena’s life. On certain nights wolves approach Wolkobran close enough for her to hear their howls. Their haunting cries cause her pain and she is inexplicably drawn to them. No one has been able to explain her peculiar condition.  

Thank you @practising-writer for this great tag!  

Since Valentine’s Day is very close, it is time to post some fluff! 💖

I’m not sure who my WIP’s OTP actually is, so I’ll answer what Tayena would do with each RO’s in my upcoming otome Howl of the Blood. 

-

Lalik/Tayena 

Since Lalik is broke as a joke, he wouldn’t be able to buy Tayena anything. Also, any crafts that he ever made were a complete disaster, so that would be out of the question as well. In the end, he would write a heartfelt card (fortunately he’s not half bad with words) and he would enchant it so that when Tayena opens it a bunch of heart-shaped bubbles would emerge. 

Tayena knows how big of a kid Lalik is and she would probably buy him some board games, rare playing cards or chess (fun fact: Lalik hates chess, but he loves to play with figurines when he thinks no one is looking... *coughs* nerd *coughs*).

Elemir/Tayena

Elemir would shower Tayena with gifts. He would buy everything he believes a girl would like: flowers, jewelry, fancy clothes, candy, a kitten (fun fact: he adores cats). But then he would remember that Tayena is also a warrior and not really your regular girl-next-door so, in addition, he would obtain gauntlets, a dagger and a horse (fun fact: he loves horses, too). And in confusion he would end up with a herd of animals and a bunch of junk.

Tayena wouldn’t have a lot of trouble deciding what to give to Elemir because he is pretty open about his preferences and opinions - he would most likely drop subtle not subtle at all hints weeks before the Valentine's Day. It could be some piece of clothes or furniture... or a kitty!

Ino/Tayena

Ino loves nature and food and absolutely loathes materialism so he doesn't really want any gifts aside from some snacks (which he always craves). However, he has some basic knowledge about human customs and he would probably follow through with the tradition. Perhaps too literary. And so would completely inexperienced and indecisive Tayena...

The two of them would end up going on a picnic in the woods (yes, in February, but don’t worry, the two of them are very resilient) giving same pair of gifts to each other - flowers and candy. Classic.

Sabbeha/Tayena

Sabbeha would insist that they spend the whole day together in her cottage where she would teach Tayena how to cook and prepare teas. Her gift to Tayena would be one her many souvenirs and mementos that she brought back from distant lands during her Wandering or a special mix of rare herbs.
